I have seen a lot of bad reviews with these speakers. Even the salesmen will try to steer you toward different powered speakers! However, I have nothing but good things to say about these! They crank, have great clear sound, thumping lows & mine do not distort even at high volume. I use these with a pair of behringer d1800 powered subs. The sound is AWESOME!! If using with powered subs turn the lows all the way down & let your subs pound the low end! Best speaker for the money IMO..

I bought two of these for my band's practice space to use as mains. I have 2 Alto TX10s for floor montors. The Thumps have a lot of bass, but the mid range and highs sound like aluminum cans being tossed around inside a parking garage. I then tried them as a floor wedges and wanted to shove my boot thru the pieces of $H!#. They would probably work fine for a dance club, or mobile DJ. I picked up 2 Yamaha DXR15s and am keeping the Altos! I should have known better and spent the extra money the first time around!

I tried to give it a shot to buy these speakers, since im a strict JBL, QSC guy. Any how, I opened up one plugged it in and tested it out. I set the recommended EQs that they have printed in the back of the unit to the recommended DJ preferences. I played a couple of songs and I noticed that the unit dips in gain or volume on deep bass kicks. Returned it within the hour of purchasing them. I didnt bother opening up the second one.

I bought this speaker to match up with my Mackie ProFX12 mixer and it works great. I use it for vocals and guitars. It handles my bass, electric and acoustic electric guitars with a clear clean sound. This is perfect for my home studio use. I will purchase a second one to complete my system. You can't beat it for it's price range. Thumbs ups to Mackie for the power upgrade, 1000 watts is more power than most of use will ever need in a home studio.

I've been a fan of JBL for years, however after my new speaker tweeters been blown so fast I wanted to see what other options are out there. Heard this and blew the new JBL's away. Great balance of bass and treble for any genre. Don't see my self getting a subwoofer just yet since the bass sounds so clean. Cheaper and great quality. Great combo! I matched it up with a Mackie 402-VLZ4 mixer for my dj needs.

I am a professional Mobile DJ and got two of these when investing in all new equipment to expand my business. I pair them with a Alto Black 18inch Subwoofer, which to be honest, as awesome as that sub is ($1000 subwoofers, 2400 watt peak power), I can run the Mackies by themselves with little difference. As with any DJ set up, I recommend using a sonic maximizer for the best sound (if you have never used one before...go to any Guitar Center and have their pro audio section show you the difference in sound they can make. )

I've seen the bad reviews for these speakers. I haven't had any problems with mine at all. Crystal clear sound all the way around. Now I need a couple thump12s for monitors and a couple of the subs to complete my system. I use these for acoustic shows, karaoke, and just jamming tunes while at home or on breaks at a gig. I absolutely love these babies

Bought these to replace 18 year old JBL EONS. Immediately heard the difference and that was not good. THe old JBLs sounded much cleaner and brighter. These were muddy. I use for keyboards and PA but these are going back today. I was hoping for a sound as good but with lighter weight. Perhaps I will try the Thump 12s.

A great speaker for high energy DJ events. This speaker has enough volume with no distortion for a 5,000+ square feet venue with high ceilings when used with one pair. I have Mackey Thump 12 speakers I use for weddings at smaller venues when a lot of base kick is not needed. I quit carrying my sub-woofer, even for high school dances, because of the hard hitting base the Thump 15's produce. The only con is that while they produce clear audio at mid and high volumes they lack a bright tone at lower levels when background or cocktail music is needed. For most applications these speakers get the job done especially at the reasonable cost.

This is the 3rd I have bought. They are workhorses. I have used them min 4 hours a night, for about 10-12 gigs a month for 2 years before I had any issues. This was a replacement for one that is having some issues until I get it repaired. They are plenty loud for most venues, and I have used them for several outdoor performances, however they do get a bit strained in those situations. I paired them with a couple of inexpensive sub woofers and we are constantly getting complements on our sound. Definitely would buy again, in fact planning on getting another for a total of 4 once the other is repaired, for the outdoor performances.

I have been doing DJ gigs since 1998, and am very picky about sound quality. I recently upgraded to the Mackie Thump 15s and matching 18" powered subs. The Thump 15s do indeed pack quite a punch, but not at the expense of clarity in the mids and highs. I appreciate the on-board equalizer that allows you to adjust depending on your program content. The speakers even have a diagram for how to set things for voice or music. What really surprised me is how light the Mackie Thump 15s are -- right around 30 pounds, which makes them easy to hoist up onto a tripod or pole. My only complaint is that the Mackie gig bags for these speakers are $75 each which seems a bit pricey. And you will almost certainly want them, because the front grill on one of my Thump 15s already has a scratch, and I've been very careful with them. HEADS UP: you will need mike cables at least 5' long to connect the speakers to the sub, but ideally 6-7'.

I'M A MOBILE DJ.......... I ADDED A PAIR OF THESE BABIES TO MY SYSTEM AND LOVE THE WAY THEY SOUND WITH MY OLD PEAVEY SP-118's...... I LOVE THEM....... SO, NOW I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A PAIR OF POWERED SUBS TO MATCH THESE THUMPS....... I'M CONVERTING FROM PASSIVE TO ACTIVE SPEAKERS, BUT I'M KEEPING MY OLD PEAVEY SPEAKERS AND CROWN POWER AMPS....... JUST DOING A MAJOR UPGRADE...... Big-it Up........

I'm a mobile DJ, but I'm been into sound engineering and music production for over 10 years. I bought these pair USED Thump15 at the Guitar Center over a month ago. Definitely impressed by the sound quality. Bought them to my brother's lounge (a QSC man) and even he was surprised by the clarity. As far as THUMP (lo end bass) Impressive, but they will clip if you make them THUMP too much. I've added a 12" Kustom Sub to take some of the bass load off of my THUMPS. These are very comparable too the EV-ZLX15s as far as BASS and Clarity, but the EV project music a lot louder and farther. And I'll say one of my brother's QSC k12 might be louder than both of my THUMP15s combined.

He brung a K12 to a softball game and it filled the air with sound and force. Just AMAZING engineering at QSC. When I say force, those k12s just push sound so powerfully, I've never felt that type of force with clarity.

I'm happy with my purchase, especially since I got them for 1/2 the price, but if had to buy speakers for full price. I'd probably go with the QSC k12s (800$ a piece) or with the EV ZLX12s and a decent sub.

I did a huge park this past weekend. I bought the Thump15s, that Alto Touper and a that kustom sub and they were amazing. Did a retirement party later that night and got rave reviews.

In search of good two channel rock sound, I bought these instead of similar costing home audio speakers. Glad I did. On my deck or my patio they sound fantastic. They do NOT sound good indoors I suspect because the cabinets give off a lot of effect (not heard outdoors) and/or they need to be at a fairly high volume level to get the tweeter to deliver the highs and mids. Just not meant for small rooms. Quote from a friend, "That bass sounds great".
